PHOTOS: Mission Pie in San Francisco

While visiting the Bay Area last week, we stopped by Mission Pie in San Francisco to shoot a new video. Mission Pie gets its name from the street and the neighborhood where it's located, but the cafe also has a mission of sustainability that's pretty extraordinary. Not only are the ingredients in the pies organic, and wherever possible, local, but Mission Pie also forms partnerships with local farms and nonprofit organizations.

We got to go back in the kitchen and watch them make some pies, and then we tested some delicious apple-cranberry and pear-blueberry pies. (It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.) We haven't finished editing the video yet, but feast your eyes on these photos, and check out the rest at our Flickr page.

Thanks Giselle - glad you like them! It really is such a gorgeous place doing great work in the community. I hope people replicate this business model around the country!

Mission Pie is a creative asset to our community! You might also want to check out Happle's Gourmet Foods: http://www.happlegourmet.com/ . They are looking to expand their operation to include pot pies made from organic produce.

Thanks for all the great work you are doing with OrganicNation .TV!
